President Obama and cricketer Chris Gayle have recently experienced racial prejudice. For President Obama, some of the harsh criticism of his policies and leadership may stem from racial prejudice, as some white Americans have not fully accepted a black man as President. The outrage over Chris Gayle flirting with a white female journalist also seems to involve racial prejudice, as the reaction may have been different if he was white. Reducing racial prejudice requires acknowledging our own prejudices, which are influenced by our environments and experiences rather than genetics, and treating people as individuals rather than defining them by their race.

Top Selling Audiobooks Real American
Julie Lythcott-Haims' memoir "Real American" recounts her experience growing up as a biracial black woman in America and struggling with low self-esteem inflicted by racism. She describes how subtle and overt racial aggressions can damage one's self-worth. The author shares how finding community helped overcome isolation as an "other."

Child soldiers genocide report
A former child soldier describes how when militia came to his village, they shot his older brother who refused to join them. Fearing for his life, the child joined the militia at age 13. He expresses the trauma of being forced to commit violent acts as a child and hopes others can spread awareness to prevent this from continuing to happen.
Child soldiers
Over 50 countries use child soldiers, with estimates of 200,000 to 300,000 children under 18 participating. Children are used for combat as well as support roles like messengers or sex slaves. They are easily manipulated and require little resources. The Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda, led by Joseph Kony since 1986, has forcibly conscripted many children through abductions. There are political, economic, and social causes and effects of using child soldiers. While there is no single solution, organizations like Invisible Children raise awareness and funds to help prevent the ongoing cycle of harm.
The representation of the british youth in the media.
Selcan Findikoglu argues that the media unfairly represents British youth through negative stereotypes that influence both youth behavior and how adults perceive youth. The media portrays youth as "hooligans, razor gangs, teddy boys, hippies, skinheads and rioters" and influences youth to act this way. Additionally, the media misrepresents the causes of youth knife crime by portraying peers as coercing youth into carrying knives for protection when research shows this is not the case. The author believes the media limits youth opportunities and sends mixed messages by both calling youth the future yet representing them negatively.

1) The document discusses gender as a key source of identity, noting that one of the first questions asked about a newborn is their sex. Gender influences life chances and opportunities.
2) Mead's study of a New Guinea tribe found that gender and behaviors are socially constructed rather than based on biological differences between sexes.
3) Stereotypical hegemonic masculinity and femininity are discussed, along with the idea that these may be changing in modern Britain through factors like increased female participation in the workforce.
Photo Essay
Racial injustice and segregation have existed for a long time, beginning with figures like Hitler and Custer, and African Americans faced segregation from a young age. While laws have integrated areas like sports and workplaces, more subtle forms of segregation and discrimination persist, especially in the form of hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. To truly overcome racial segregation, people of all backgrounds must understand each other's experiences, unite against discrimination, and defeat the underlying ideologies that promote inequality and division between groups.

The article describes a black man's experience with racial profiling by white women. As the author, Brent Staples, walked behind a well-dressed white woman late at night, she began to speed up and cast worried glances back at him. She broke into a run when he was walking down the same street, fearful of the black man behind her despite him having no intention to harm her. Staples realized he was being racially profiled and would take precautions like being less threatening in his movements and appearance, especially at night, to avoid frightening white women with his presence as a black man.
Racism pp
The document discusses racism and provides tips for reducing prejudice. It notes that racial prejudice can influence who we choose as friends or social groups. It then lists stereotypical portrayals of racial groups in media and offers six actions people can take to make a difference, such as celebrating differences, befriending those of other races, changing humor that isolates others, examining one's own actions for racial bias, learning about one's heritage, and being open to other perspectives. It concludes with quotes about fighting racism with solidarity rather than racism.
Just walk on by
Brent Staples wrote an essay called "Just Walk on By" where he discusses his experiences as a tall black man and how others perceive and react to his appearance in public spaces. He describes instances where he was mistaken for a burglar or criminal. To avoid frightening people, especially late at night, Staples now whistles classical music to signal that he is harmless when walking alone. His goal is to alter how others see him based on assumptions, and show them his true cultured self.
Sexism
Sexism is portrayed in various media sources such as TV shows, movies, advertisements and books. A survey of 23 people found that most had witnessed sexism towards women, including portrayals of women as inferior or belonging in the kitchen. However, opinions varied on whether sexism is a major problem, with about half believing it is a problem and half not seeing it as a big deal. While some media sources portray women in sexual or subservient roles, the impact of these portrayals is unclear according to the survey responses.
Check your privilege
The document discusses the author's experience traveling to Pakistan and discovering her white privilege. Some key points:
- As a white European woman, the author felt very safe and treated like a "queen" in Pakistan due to the effects of colonialism and colorism.
- Her Pakistani boyfriend, on the other hand, faces many barriers due to his passport allowing travel to only 28 countries compared to her 170.
- The author comes to realize the invisible privilege afforded to her by her white skin and European passport that she previously took for granted.
- The document calls for individuals and organizations to acknowledge and address privilege by promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity.

Why are we so lonely?
Can I ask you a personal question? Are you lonely? A recent study by CIGNA suggests that you are. They surveyed more than 20,000 U.S. adults -18 years and older and find out that nearly half of Americans sometimes or always feel alone, One in four Americans rarely or never feel as though there are people who really understand them, Two in five Americans sometimes or always feel that their relationships are not meaningful and one in five people report they rarely or never feel close to people. Why is this? I blame social media.

Who is to be blamed? State of Public Emegency St James, Jamaica
The document discusses the failure of the government to gain support to extend the State of Public Emergency in St. James, which led to an increase in crime and murders. Political parties are blaming each other, with the JLP claiming the PNP is at fault for not supporting the extension, while the PNP blames the JLP for lacking a crime plan. The document suggests the heads of the security forces should be blamed, as they either failed to plan for the possibility of no extension or their plan was ineffective. It questions whether the Prime Minister and opposition party considered the appropriate factors in their positions regarding the extension.
Jealousy, greed, ego
Thorny subject of leadership. How very little has changed as depicted in some classic films with some less than credible leaders
Jealousy, greed, ego
Jealousy, greed, and ego still torment modern man. The document discusses classic films like Ben-Hur, Cleopatra, and Quo Vadis that offer lessons about faith, courage, fear, prejudice, and how humans brutalize each other over religious and ethnic differences. Watching the films again provided new insights into how power and poor judgment in the hands of corrupt leaders can have disastrous consequences for people. By extension, modern leaders exhibiting similar behaviors through politics, at home, or in the workplace are also causing suffering, as depicted in the films. The sad truth is that jealousy, greed, and ego still divide people and foster hatred today, as humans still love violence against those branded as criminals.
The green bay reward
Article written in 2008. So very few remember this awful event in Jamaica's history. There has never been an apology for these killings!
Integrity in Enquiries - Tivoli 2010
The letter calls for transparency and accountability in the upcoming inquiry into the 2010 Tivoli security forces incursion. It argues that scrutinizing public institutions strengthens rather than weakens them by preserving integrity. The inquiry should seek the truth objectively rather than be adversarial. Any attempts to withhold information under the guise of national security should be viewed as disloyal. The inquiry is an opportunity to restore public confidence by conducting it with integrity.
Tivoli Killings - Public Defender's Recommendations
The Public Defender has made recommendations to the Tivoli Commission of Inquiry regarding the 2010 Tivoli killings that are posted online but not widely published. The recommendations call for (1) a public apology from the government for unlawful acts committed against West Kingston residents, (2) acknowledgement that the military and police incursion into Tivoli Gardens failed, and (3) prohibition of using high explosive mortar ammunition against communities in the future. The author hopes the commission will accept all of the Public Defender's recommendations and the government will publicly release and implement the commission's report.
Political victimisation
This document argues against politically motivated victimization in public sector jobs. It states that it has become customary for new governments to carry out "house cleanings" and remove public workers based on hearsay allegations that they opposed the new party. However, this practice undermines democracy by punishing citizens for their political preferences. A society that removes public workers due to their political views is weakening democracy and disloyal to the country. While some public jobs may be given for political reasons, there must be a proper process for removals. Public servants who cannot serve loyally due to political differences should resign voluntarily. Jamaica must demonstrate tolerance for differing political views as a mature democracy.
A Coalition Government?
The document discusses the possibility of forming a coalition government in Jamaica after recent elections resulted in a government with a slim majority. It notes that the previous governments by the Jamaica Labour Party and Peoples National Party were both ineffective and failed in many areas. As an alternative, the author considers whether Jamaica's politics have matured enough to support a coalition government made up of the best members from both major parties. However, there is a concern that this could create a de facto one-party government and weaken the opposition needed to hold the government accountable. The author hopes that elected officials will treat their role as public servants and conduct business transparently on behalf of citizens.
Coalition government
The document discusses the recent general elections in Jamaica that resulted in a new government being formed with a slim majority. It analyzes the performance of the two major political parties, the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) and Peoples National Party (PNP), during their terms from 2012 to 2016. While neither party deserved to be re-elected based on their failures, the people's selection of their leaders must be respected. However, it is now up to the newly elected government to properly understand and address the expectations of the electorate. There is a question of whether Jamaica would benefit from a coalition government made up of both parties or selecting the best members, but the political system may not be mature enough to effectively implement this. The
My Opinions -2010 TIVOLI MILITARY OPERATION
The document contains the opinions and analysis of Colonel Allan Douglas regarding the 2010 Tivoli Military Operation in Kingston, Jamaica. Some of the key points made include:
1) The operation involved more force than was reasonably necessary and the use of mortars was reckless and possibly criminal. Intelligence provided was speculative and the operation was poorly planned and executed.
2) The Jamaica Constabulary Force acted with little discipline or regard for civilians, going on a "killing spree." Many civilian deaths were the result of killings in cold blood by security forces.
3) Claims of hundreds of gunmen occupying Tivoli and Jamaica being under siege were exaggerated. A full investigation of all layers of the military operation
Accountable leaders
1) The document discusses the issue of accountability of leaders, particularly military commanders, for the actions of their subordinates and units.
2) It examines two prominent cases - Radovan Karadzic for wartime atrocities in Bosnia and President Obama accepting responsibility for security failures in Benghazi.
3) The author argues that military commanders at all levels have a responsibility to ensure their orders are lawful, troops are properly trained and equipped, and excessive force is not used. Commanders should be held accountable if these responsibilities are not met.
Jolly old aj nich
The speaker asks Santa Claus, or "AJ Nich", to tell them what gifts he will bring on Christmas Eve while visiting down the chimney after everyone is asleep, as the speaker and their siblings Mark, Imani, and Floyd have left their Christmas wishes - with the speaker simply wanting their handbag returned.
Massacre similarities
This letter discusses and draws parallels between three historical massacres: the 1865 Morant Bay massacre in Jamaica, the 1919 Amritsar massacre in India, and the 2010 Tivoli massacre in Jamaica. It notes that in both the Morant Bay and Amritsar massacres, the colonial governors who ordered brutal crackdowns on rebellions were praised in Britain as "saviors" despite killing hundreds, while the victims received little support. The letter argues the Jamaican response to Tivoli shows similar tendencies to overlook state violence and portray security forces as having "saved" the country, questioning if victims will be properly compensated.
Massacre similarities
Morant Bay Massacre, Amristar Massacre and Tivoli Massacre' apart from slaughter of innocent civilians, have many similarities especially in respect of public response and press reaction to the villains.
The Tivoli killings
The document discusses the Commission of Enquiry (COE) into the 2010 killing of over 73 civilians in Tivoli Gardens by Jamaican security forces. It summarizes key points of discussion at the COE hearings regarding conflicting accounts between security forces and Tivoli residents. It calls for the COE to further investigate discrepancies in testimony, such as soldiers' reports of police killings and the lack of testimony from non-commissioned security forces. It argues the COE must establish the full truth of what happened without speculation to preserve the reputation and credibility of the Jamaican security forces.

President Obama & Chris Gayle Victims of Racial Predjudice
- 1. President Obama& Chris Gayle Victims of Racial Prejudice The subject of racial prejudice is a complex subject that evokes much emotion. It affects our lives in such a profound manner whether as a victim or perpetrator. There is no doubt that prejudices and especially racial prejudice is founded and nurtured on ignorance, and although there have been many advances in the reduction of this human phenomenon, I fear that it will be with us for many years to come. I am, of course, astonished that no matter how technologically advanced the world has become, we still have not been able to make dramatic advancements in reducing colour prejudice. We are all ingrained with our own prejudices, in one form or another, influenced by environment, experiences, education, socioeconomic and other factors. We arenot born with prejudices and it certainly is not genetic. I am truly motivated to write on this subject now because of incidents surrounding two public figures. The first is one of the finest leaders of all time, and the first black president of the USA, BarrackObama. The other is our own outstanding cricketer, Chris Gayle How much of what President Obama is presently experiencing is based on his racial makeup? Is there, in the reaction to his policies and leadership, the issue of colour prejudice? I suspect that the manner in which he is attacked by his opponents and in particular on social media, is an attempt to ensure that his presidency is discredited, because a black man cannot or should not go down in history as having accomplished much. The idea that a black man is president has still not been stomached/accepted by a largeportion of white America. The Chris Gayle uproar and reaction to his flirting publicly with a white female journalist is astonishing. Would the reaction been the same if Gayle was white, and is it not how dare a black man flirt publicly with a white woman? Why would a cartoonist of a newspaper depict Gayle as a buffoon with a huge watermelon stuffed in his mouth? Happily, the cartoon which was also posted on Twitter was quickly removed. In the end, I think probably, if we could all first be true to ourselves, we may just be able to rid our world of the scourge of racial prejudice and all the ugliness with which that phenomenon is associated. Perhaps this can start if we ask ourselves just how many lives have been destroyed or wasted because we continue to find it convenient to deal with our fears by dividing people on the basis of race. Can we not stop and deal with racial prejudices with greater purpose? We must rid ourselves of this mindset because, after all, that is what prejudice is. And it is only us that has the ability to change how we relateand perceive others, especially in relation to colour. Colonel Allan Douglas
